Blue shirts for next season

Its not to me that it matters, it is cardiff city, the fans rep is of a club that of a prehistoric fighting culture, book upon book sells for the violence that has happened with our fans, its not sold on the football that was played on the pitch! The club needed to change to go forward, of course I want to see the club succeed as we support the team for it to win, not to get battered. But I'd still support if it was div 3. BUT the club was dying. Do you need to see some of the kids that was in the away section at in the infamous leeds fa cup side actually fearing for themselves... The club then went to near liquidation again and would have died. Its been saved and run properly, at this time that's all that matters. You pick your battles, you don't cane the guy who saved you. Badges change, colours change. The name will stay, and hopefully the rep of the minority idiot fans that want to fight will die out sooner rather than later...

Just looking at the CCFC shop online, only the Red and Black shirts appear on there now! No sign of the Blue ones.
I fear this rebranding has only just started .....

I wasn't going to post in this, but some of the comments here are astounding.

I used to think that we were a "proper" football club, with old fashioned values and respect for the game. The majority of posts on here represent the new brand of glory football - who gives a f**k what colour we wear, were top of the league.

To some of us, the club means more to them than just a bit of success.

The identity of the club has been taken away & looks to be further stripped this summer. The traditions of this fine club have been disrespected and I'm dead against it.

Cardiff City may be top of the league & 7 points clear, but it's not the same Cardiff City I fell in love with on the bob bank as an 8 year old.

Bang on mate my thoughts exactly . In my opinion the jacks haven't helped the matter . It will get worse if they win the cup . success at any cost for a large chunk of our fans . If we go up this year and after say 3 years finishing mid table / narrowly avoiding relegation in the prem and the club bears no resemblance to the city of 5 years ago you have to wonder if those same people will think , we'll that was worth it .

Really your basing all this on the club shop.
When have they ever had blue shirts on sale there f*cking useless.

Blame the bastards, the sell outs, the spineless majority and plastic fans that bought the red shirt in their droves. I have reluctantly accepted the rebrand but by f**k I can't for the life of me understand why people have gone out and bought a red shirt. It hurts me when I see fat men wearing a skimpy football shirt with a personalised name on the back but it kills me when I see they have bought the red shirt.

Why oh why.

I bought my son the blue shirt at the start of the season and the red shirt at Christmas. This is first season of supporting Cardiff and he has only missed 1 or 2 home games. He wanted the shirt he sees his favourite players Whittingham, Bellamy, Noone, wearing at every game he's been to.

Does that make me a 'b*stard' 'sell out' or 'spineless'?
Does that make my 5 year old son a plastic?

Nonsense! We are fortunate to have a club to support these days he is a cracking chairman. A kit is a kit, a badge a badge, its the name that matters, the name and location!

Your favourite restaurant has new owners as the previous owners couldn't keep it running. The name of the restaurant stays the same, the location of the restaurant stays the same and the menu stays the same. With the new owners stepping in to keep the restaurant afloat, you're fortunate your favourite restaurant is still around, however, the new owners bring their own chefs in. These new chefs can't cook the food very well and your favourite meal in your favourite restaurant now tastes horrible. Your usual favourite meal now tasting horrendous means the experience of dining at this restaurant doesn't feel the same. Do you still continue going to this restaurant to eat because it's just the name that matters? From what you've said above, you're saying you would, but we all know that isn't true.

What I am saying is what VT has done, despite us still being Cardiff City, has partially ruined my experience of watching my local team.

Goodnight.

For that comparison to work the product on offer to us would have 2 have got worse. Has the football been any worse since we changed to red? If the food in your favourite restaurant was just as good or better but the design on the sign outside and the colours the restaurant has been painted were different would you stop going there?

If you think that a football club is comparable to a restaurant or a retail outlet or a brand of toothpaste,then I'm afraid that you are a football consumer and not a supporter.

A football club has a pull on a person that a restaurant could only dream of. Would you keep going back to a restaurant if the fayre on offer was frequently substandard and left you feeling disappointed? Of course not and the same applies to all manner of brands. If your football club is poor on the pitch,you keep attending.Results on the pitch are largely irrelevant.

Supporting a football club is ingrained,it is a part of who we are.

Don't kid yourself that colours,badges and nicknames don't matter in football. They do.They are fundamentals. Start slicing away at them and you end up with a football club,that may be successful,but one that has lost its soul.

Don't know about next season, but i was in the shop earlier this week to buy a blue shirt for my son. None were on display, & the sales assistant told me that because the blue shirt was third kit, that only a limited were produced for sale, & had subsequently all sold out, & that no more were being produced.

So there's no big secret ban the blue club. There's a real actual reason well that's a f*cking surprise

Well it seemed a perfectly reasonable excuse to me, just wish i bought one before Xmas.

That really is a sad state of affairs. So much for the rebrand apologists bleating on at the start of the season that we were simply switching our home and away colours.

The club is in the process of having its identity entirely stripped away and still all we get from most of our fanbase is a mix of unofficial spokespeople for Vincent Tan and an awful lot of shoulder shrugging.

A year ago,I thought getting to the premiership would be wonderful for Cardiff City,a shot at the big time,rubbing shoulders with football's elite. I couldn't have been more wrong. If Cardiff City reach the top flight its will be a hollow victory indeed.

Mate they've sold out of shirts and there not making anymore its that simple.

I'm no spokes person for any one, just saying why there's no blue shirts for sale in the club shop.

With regards to next season, & the original title of this post, i haven't got the foggiest.

I couldnt agree more ....... Im the same with you here !

Exactly we keep attending when things are good or bad on the pitch. We should all unite when things are good or bad off the pitch aswell! I would 100% prefer Cardiff 2 be playing in blue but I won't turn my back because we are playing in red. I am convinced 1 day we will be back in blue and I will be proud that I stood by the club through the red days!

the futute, but i want our badge back not that beer matt.

The club shop website were selling Red, Black, and Blue kits last week. Now the Blue had been removed from the site, no mention of it at all. Normally it just shows as "out of stock" if they havent got any.

Plastic??? Lol

Wake up folks Football 2013 is franchise FC so deal with it or follow elsewhere. Look around all succesful clubs and you see the same, granted the rebrand was drastic but is aimed at far east and revenue raising.

How many on here bemoaning the changes bought club merchandise regularly? Wore blue to games? How many arrived early at the club and bought food/drink in the stadium and out money in the club??

Truth is the higher you climb the cost rises, the club isn't covering outgoings with current revenue streams hencpe looking to pastures new.

Plastic?? No just a realist.

Your post just proves even further that you're a plastic. All you've gone on about in that post is about us needing to become franchise FC to be successful. Well personally, I put my clubs identity first before success and many others feel the same. I will not deal with this and follow elsewhere, I will not give in to you plastics who only care about watching successful football whatever colour/badge we have. All I care about is watching MY club who I grew up supporting and falling in love with and that's Cardiff City - the Bluebirds, WHATEVER THE LEVEL!

Same players, same manager, same stadium, same city, if you class the whole of a club as a kit colour and badge then im afraid your deluded.

What you ain't getting is this is just the start of the rebrand,when it's done the club will be unrecognizable but I wouldn't expect you to understand that.
